The English Lutheran Sunday School
outdid itaelf last evening in rendering a
pleasant entertainment. Every former

by this one. After singing "Joy to the

blaser, the pastor, the Jewel Room, under
The care Of Miss Mary Robertson and her
assistant, Miss Alyina Bowman, rendered
q few Iecitations and aonga and dialogue,
"Playing Singing School," that was quite
amusing, and a medley, sung by four little
girls with action, that waa very pleasing.
Then the csntata entitled Judge Santa

q month past the Cantssa Com mittee, con-
sisting OF the Superintendent, Mr.. q. M.

training, and the grand success OF the
rendering attest their skill and patience in
the performance Of their work.
The reporter did not learn the names Of
all the persons who took leading parts as
soloists, but every part was most excel
lently rendered, and the choruses by the
school were heartily sung. Prominent
among the soloists were Misses Annie
Oarperter, Eva Phillips, Laura Serig and
Birdie Freeze, who have very sweet voices,
and they Gang and rected very distinctly.
